Chapter 255: Who Died
"Shark-faced bro, you raising a hand against me makes my heart ache." Masahiko looked heartbroken at the short sword hovering in front of his chest.
"Come on, stab it down, just kill me!" Masahiko actually shouted out lines from an idol drama at Kisame.
Kisame had a ferocious expression. The veins on his right hand holding the sword bulged, and it trembled non-stop. It really looked like he couldn't bear to do it, but that was naturally not the case.
His short sword stopped five centimeters away from Masahiko's chest and couldn't be pushed down any further. In his heart, he was dying to stab Masahiko to death...
"Look, your Lord is getting beaten up."
After executing his jutsu, Fuguki Suikazan didn't pay any more attention to Masahiko. After all, in his mind, a nagging civilian would be directly eliminated by his indiscriminate Water Release. Now, he had fused with Samehada and continued fighting Mangetsu Hozuki. However, fighting against someone from the Hozuki clan in the water was simply too exhausting, even if he could breathe freely.
The current tournament arena was also in complete chaos. With such a small exit, only a minority managed to escape before the Water Release flooded the place.
Especially those wealthy civilian merchants, the protection fees they paid were completely wasted. Those ninjas couldn't even fend for themselves and used their own methods to flee the arena.
"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly their separate ways." Masahiko shook his head and sighed emotionally, randomly misusing a poem.
In the chaos, basically no one paid attention to him, the cause of the disaster, much less notice that his location was completely safe without a drop of water. But there were exceptions, such as Ao, who had activated his Byakugan and slipped into Masahiko's one-third of an acre of land.
"Who are you!" Ao looked guarded. Even now, he couldn't see a single trace of chakra from Masahiko's body.
Masahiko sighed. Why did the other party always ask this question in such situations? Hiding his identity meant he didn't want to tell them. Did he have to spell it out directly, "I am your Great Ancestor Masahiko Uzumaki"?
Looking at the other party's Byakugan, Masahiko smiled. He lifted his sensory shield, allowing Ao to see his chakra, intending to scare him with his massive chakra volume.
Who knew Ao's reaction would be so extraordinary? "With this volume of chakra, which Jinchuriki are you, Your Excellency?"
Masahiko didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The Hidden Mist Village had a wild Three-Tails. His current chakra volume was probably about the same as the Three-Tails, so it was no wonder the other party had this reaction.
"Showing off failed, this is so painful..."
Ao across from him, however, showed a look of sudden realization. "You are the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of the Rock Village, Roshi! I just heard you had a falling out with the Third Tsuchikage and ran away. I didn't expect you would dare come to our Hidden Mist!"
Masahiko: "..."
What could he say? He was also very desperate.
"Lord Ao, whether he is the Four-Tails Jinchuriki or not, at this time we should first stop the two Lords from continuing their fight, and deal with this person later!" Kisame couldn't bear watching anymore.
Ao was stunned, and Masahiko was anxious. "Aren't you going to do as he says?"
Before Ao could react, the Water Release enveloping the entire arena slowly receded. The battle between the two in the center had ended. Fuguki Suikazan voluntarily surrendered. After using that ninjutsu, he hadn't planned on winning; he was just making a final struggle earlier.
"You cat-holding guy, you're actually not dead yet?!" The big fatty finally noticed the situation on Masahiko's side.
Masahiko relaxed his control over Kisame, letting him go clear up the big fatty's confusion.
As the Water Release in the arena dissipated, more and more ninjas gathered. With such a huge commotion, most of the ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village rushed over. The other two of the Ninja Sword Trio from yesterday also arrived. Everyone focused their gazes on Masahiko, who was confronting Ao.
"Unknowingly caused such a huge commotion again. It really is hard to keep a low profile." Masahiko never looked for the cause within himself...
Facing Masahiko, who was clearly a foreign enemy, the Hidden Mist ninjas also developed a tacit understanding. The Ninja Sword Trio, along with Mangetsu Hozuki, surrounded Masahiko.
"Four Lords, be careful! The opponent's chakra volume is abnormally massive. He should be the Rock Village's Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi!" Ao emphasized.
"Everyone else step back, prevent the opponent from causing massive destruction if he transforms into a Tailed Beast!"
Masahiko rolled his eyes. If you say so, then so be it. He mimicked gathering a Tailed Beast Bomb in his mouth and fired it directly at Ao.
"He really is a Jinchuriki!"
A mushroom cloud rose, the tournament arena crumbled, and Ao's shouts could still be heard.
The pot-lid-like dome of the arena collapsed inward. The ninjas surrounding Masahiko couldn't afford to care about anything else and used their respective methods to intercept the falling rubble.
Masahiko narrowed his eyes, fully activating his sensory abilities, and locked onto a few chakra signatures in the crowd.
"Notebook Entry Number One."
He instantly appeared beside a young ninja with a cold face. The other party was thrown into the space by Masahiko without any power to resist. This was the ninja who guarded the gate when Masahiko entered the village.
"Notebook Entry Number Two."
In the next moment, Masahiko appeared behind Ameyuri Ringo. She could still react sharply, slashing back with the Lightning Blades, lightning attribute chakra continuously leaping upon them.
Masahiko's right hand was also imbued with the lightning attribute. He directly grabbed the Lightning Blades and threw them into the space. Taking advantage of her daze, Ameyuri Ringo was also thrown inside.
"With space, I really have become stronger."
This was Masahiko's first time making a move against others after obtaining the space. In the past, if he wanted to deal with S-class ninjas like the ones opposite him, he still had to expend a little effort. Now, he just needed to throw them into the space.
"Then, Notebook Entry Number Three... No, this is proper business, not something for the notebook." Masahiko locked onto Ao's chakra.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field!"
"Water Release: Water Gun!"
...
The Hidden Mist ninjas finally recovered from the chaos. Overwhelming Water Release jutsu came attacking toward Masahiko. Masahiko used two flashes to arrive beside Ao...
Ten minutes later.
On a high mountain near the Hidden Mist Village, Masahiko weighed a small box in his hand. Inside was a Byakugan.
Recalling when he just appeared beside Ao, it was as if Ao had voluntarily offered up his right eye. Thinking back to the clumsy Four-Tails Jinchuriki excuse from before...
"He probably guessed it was me. Quite calm, no resistance, voluntarily returned the eye. It made me too embarrassed to continue causing destruction." Masahiko's original plan this time was to collect all seven ninja swords, but because of this, he only snatched the Lightning Blades.
"Speaking of which, I now have two men and one woman in my space, and it's a locked room too..." Masahiko revealed a smile, then shook his head. "That tomboy is much stronger than those two men."
Masahiko ignored the situation in the space for now and comforted the Fat Cat, which was terrified by the recent battle scenes. It was a cat that had seen big scenes now. At the same time, Masahiko muttered to himself, "This time, the Fourth Mizukage is basically going to be Mangetsu Hozuki without a doubt. I'll sneak back and witness it..."
Just as he thought of this, he suddenly frowned. He sensed Katsuyu's summon.
"What happened on Tsunade's side..." Masahiko bit his finger. "Summoning Jutsu!"
Two seconds later.
"Who did you say died? How is that possible!"
Masahiko's shout echoed throughout the heavens.
